All I do in bass pro is look. Tackle warehouse has better stuff and better prices.

The BPS store locator shows future stores in Tn and Co but nothign in Tx so if it is coming, it's still a long way off .

Academy aint so bad. At least they have that return policy.

tacklewarehouse is cheaper and you can get it overnighted if you need it immediately.

Tomorrow still isn't immediately lol. I'm an impulsive buyer which "saves" me money on fishing gear. What I might want right now I won't order on TW because I want it RIGHT NOW and since we have no BPS and Academy is overflowing with [censored] I already own, I just do without it.

If there is a BPS, they will probably have it and I'll buy it lmao.

I'm with you Killer. It is 40 minutes away just to Wal-Mart and an hour to Tyler is the next best option. Plus eveything in Tyler is on the other side of town which takes another 30 minutes. I ain't complaining though as it saves me some money.

That Walmart is better then mine but I know in February when I was at Academy over there it sucked. Plus we had drive to bfe from Lindale to get there. Got to LFM and had what I needed. Id definitely b ordering all my stuff if I lived by yall

Yep, the Marina's around Lake Fork have better gear than a lot of Tyler stores. I try to shop there if I'm going to be in the area, it costs a bit more than TW but it's there right now and it's mom and pops business's too.

i hope like hell we get one! Academy Sucks really really bad!! Went there the other day there was a whole section just bare nothing on it.

I like Walmart

Walmart in Kilgore is starting to get a better selection of rods than academy of Tyler. They "might" have 6 Lowriders, 1 Cara, 10 Bucoo (only like 2 lengths/weights though) and the rest will be el cheapo's. How about some Duckett's, Dobyns's, Loomis, anything other than the 50000000 All Star and CastAway rods that have been there since 2007. They have a decent selection of reels but you usually have to buy the display model because they will only have SX's, S's, Critica's, and the H2O reels in stock.

does anyone in longview go to east texas sonar. They have a little bit of everything

Yes, nice folks too, but they need to expand their product line more.

The dirt work behind the cinema is for the Hampton's - a retirement village.

Don't they always build directly on a body of water or at least very close? I think it would be awesome for Longview to get an Outdoor store but can't see one going in on Eastman unless it was way South by Ferguson Creek Res.
